Open Access Journal: SCRIPTA: International Journal of Writing Systems

SCRIPTA, the official journal of the Hunmin jeongeum Society, is a refereed journal published annually in September. SCRIPTA
welcomes submissions from scholars of various disciplines whose work
especially pertains to writing systems. Submissions should not
substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published
elsewhere.

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
